'53 Super 88 303 oil drain plug/pan

Does anyone know the specs on the oil drain plug on a '53 Super 88 303?.. idiot changed oil and trashed the plug since it was leaking.. (no gasket??).. anyway. I'm thinkin I can tap out the hole.. use a time sert and use the original plug.. question is.. what are the specs and where do I get a plug??
Thanks,
John

I've got a 324 core engine (1954). I don't know if the drain plug is the same but if someone can confirm that this ones available.

looks like those time sert things are mostly for aluminum pans... guess I'll just have to pull the pan, see what I've got and go from there.
